“Love is all about looking out for one another, understanding each other, and being there for them in good and bad times.
It all started during my first year of college when this particular boy came to me and introduced himself: “Hi, this is Arun Karthik.” I was the type of girl who rarely spoke to boys, so I wasn’t sure how to respond. We shook hands and said I’m Rajeshwari. Later, we became good friends, and he used to help me in every aspect without me asking. After a while, I started liking him, so I broke the stereotype and proposed. He needed some to think about it but eventually said yes. We were in a long-distance relationship after our graduation because I had to move to Chennai for PG. I must admit that we had our share of challenges and hardly a call per day, Skype, or a normal text like, how was your day? kept us going. Eventually, I got a job and the same was repeated for three long years.
There are many moments we cherish, but very few things never change, and for us, that constant is food. My love language has always been and still is food, whether in happy or sad times. There will inevitably be some misunderstandings and differences in a happy relationship, but we must endeavor to understand one another’s space and time and work to find solutions rather than letting ourselves down.

Being the only son of his parents, they wanted him to be married as soon as possible. He, therefore, asked me to discuss this with my parents, and after mustering up a lot of courage, I did so. For at least three months they couldn’t come to terms, and during that time I wrote them several letters letting him know he was the one for me. Due to the cultural and caste differences between us—he is Telugu and I am Tamil—we faced our fair share of difficulties. I’ll be honest and say that it took a while for our families to get along and progress.
In March 2017, my father finally agreed to our marriage. Our parents discussed and settled things, and we tied the knot on August 17, 2017, and we are now the proud parents of two incredible children.”
